As you're looking at this bag of SmartBlend, you might be wondering, what makes this food so smart? For starters, our nutritionists and food scientists are always asking, Why? We ask because we believe it makes our food better. Helps us do the right thing. Like the way we're inspired by the science in nature, discovering the power of smart ingredients that work together for your dog's whole body health. Like real lamb as our first ingredient. Why? Because it's tastefully rich in protein. And just like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together, lamb blends with grains and other ingredients to create a complete protein profile. See, it's choosing ingredients that work better together than they ever could on their own that inspired us to call this bag of food SmartBlend. What's a dual defense antioxidant blend? One that works inside & out. It's probably not something your dog thinks about, but his SmartBlend is working around the clock. It starts with a dual defense antioxidant blend of Vitamins E & A along with minerals zinc and selenium in a 100% complete diet. Together, they make a healthy difference on the inside by supporting your dog's strong immune system and on the outside by supporting healthy skin and a radiant coat. Real lamb as the first ingredient blended with other high-quality protein sources helps support strong muscles and a healthy heart. Natural sources of glucosamine help support healthy joints. Omega-6 helps give your dog a radiant coat and healthy skin. Highly digestible so more nutrition goes to work inside your dog. Making a difference, together. Every time you feed Purina One Pet food, you're not only supporting us, you're allowing us to give back - in a big way. Last year, Purina One brand donated more than 1,000,000 pounds of food to help shelter pets look and feel their best. Pets like Sky, who was adopted at the Humane Society of Broward County. More than six years after her adoption, her owner Kathy still remembers what drew her to this stray from Alabama. She had a great smile, she says. She was gentle with my daughter. And because she was an adult dog, she was already house-trained. Now Sky is a beautiful pet model, and people are always asking Kathy where she got her. She's happy to tell them. You have no idea the wonderful animals who come through a shelter, she says. Great animals like mine. They just need love. Proof that smart pet owners like you can make all the difference in a dog's life. Learn more about Sky and the companionship that she, and many other shelter pets, can bring to any home.

Directions

Fresh Water, Proper Diet & Veterinary Care: Be sure to provide fresh water in a clean container for your dog daily. Proper diet, exercise and veterinary care are the best ways to keep your dog healthy. If your dog hasn't had a check-up in the past year, please make an appointment today. Adult Dog Feeding: The recommended feeding amounts indicated are based upon the average nutritional needs of an adult dog with normal activity (using a standard 8 oz./250mL measuring cup, which contains approximately 96g of Purina ONE). Factors, such as a dog's metabolism, breed size, activity level, age and whether the dog is spayed or neutered, will affect the amount of Purina ONE needed to maintain an ideal body condition. The pet experts at Purina have provided the feeding amounts indicated as a starting point. If you find that your dog is losing weight or becomes overweight when fed these amounts, please adjust accordingly. To help your dog maintain an ideal body condition, monitor your dog's weight on a regular basis, making sure that his ribs are easily felt and the waist is visible when viewed from above. Maintaining an ideal body condition can impact your dog's lifelong health. Puppy Feeding: Start puppies on moistened Purina ONE as early as they will nibble at solid foods, generally 3-4 weeks of age. Feed pups (to six months of age) all of the moistened or dry Purina ONE they will consume at intervals throughout the day. If water is added, use no more than one part warm (not hot) liquid to four parts Purina ONE, changing frequently to ensure freshness. If fed dry, this formula may be kept before pups at all times. No Supplements Necessary: Purina ONE provides 100% complete and balanced nutrition. There is no need to add vitamins, minerals or other supplements, unless specifically directed by a veterinarian. When Feeding for Reproduction: Purina ONE provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation. Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's good body condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation. Making the Switch to Purina ONE: Although you'll be anxious to see the difference Purina ONE can make in your dog, please allow 7-10 days to ease the transition from his current food and a little more Purina ONE until you're feeding Purina ONE exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets. Store in a cool, dry place.
